I have a InfoPath 2007 form which is associated with this forms library. I want to associate a field, ApprovalStatus, in the form with the workflow status column. I am trying to do this using the publish option. I get an error &lt;strong&gt;the data type of the selected site column does not match the data type of the field to promote&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The ApprovalStatus&amp;nbsp;field is&amp;nbsp;of type&amp;nbsp;string. What is the data type of the workflow status column? I tried changing the type for ApprovalStatus to integer and double but it did not work. How can I fix this issue? Please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tried to provide screenshots for this issue, but every time I get to see only the placeholder and not the image.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Santosh&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
